There's one feature that's been severely underutilized in this generation of gaming: big-head mode. Thankfully, 2K Sports is getting it on like Donkey Kong™.

MLB Bobblehead Pros, as described by the ESRB, is a "baseball simulation game in which players compete using 'bobblehead doll' versions of real major league players." With big-headed baseball players running around, we fathom the game will look a lot like Japan's Jikkyo Powerful Pro Yakyu franchise.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! even the title of the game is similar! this is a family oriented site so i will refrain from using few choice words for the morons at 2K. all i'm going to say is I HATE THESE GUYS. truly despicable! :x

I bet they're just trying to save money on the license from Konami. Change a couple models here and there... change some names, change some modes, etc. I hope Konami sues them.

I kinda like the ring of that.

Anyway, I hope 2K is getting a lot of shit about this stupid idea.

Probably not, as Power Pros was not technically an extremely popular baseball video game. But, that doesn't make 2K even less of a bunch of theiving bastards.

2K is full of fail when it comes to baseball games, even from ESPN MLB Baseball to now their games have stunk...

I like to think that MLBPP will be like the original Ace Attorney game. At first it doesn't sell very well, but by word of mouth, it becomes popular and perhaps maybe Konami could publish the series itself. It might be awhile until that happens because I believe 2k Sports has seemingly exclusive rights to MLB teams and players -video game wise (with exception to MLB: The Show). Ah well, looking forward to MLB Power Pros Touch 2011 since they took down the 2010 version before I could download it.
